Newspapers and Magazines on Calibre

alg2468 · 03-24-2018, 10:38 PM

When using the "Fetch News" menu on Calibre 3.20, there are some newspapers and magazines that when downloaded only show the cover and no content; an example is in when you do the following:

Fetch News-English-Hot Air; or Fetch News-English-Reader's Digest
then click "Download Now" these magazines only download 0.1 MB of the file which is only the cover page. Yet on the right side of the screen the magazines are displayed with the titles and stories in the current issue.

This has been occurring since January 2018 and it may be happening to other publications downloaded on Calibre as well. Any solutions?

News download works via recipes which sometimes need to be updated when the website they are downloading from changes. You should post in the recipes forum to report recipes that do not work.

That said both your reported recipes have already been fixed. Just try downloading them again.
